I have to say this is probably the best looking keyboard I've seen. I've got a Corsair K95 myself but I see lots of improvements made with the new K100.

    Love all the new features but they forgot to built-in the iCUE NEXUS touch screen and that wheel is so hideous, it ruins the simplistic flow of the board.

    I have the Strafe RGB Mk.2 keyboard with the silent key switches. 
     
    Love Corsair keyboards, but the reason I never got the K95 was because their versions all had the audible click. I find it extremely annoying. Hopefully they included silent switches as an option in this launch.

    Corsair missed the mark with that keyboard. The wheel looks like something you see on a $70 off brand keyboard. Not a big fan of padded palm rest. The $230 price tag it needs a built in ICUE Nexus.
     
    Wonder how long until Bestbuy and Walmart will have the K100 on display to allow us to test out OPX Switches in person.
